Friends of TOMS has a chance to win $50,000 through its first-ever fundraising effort and we need your support! Think how many Shoe Drops that could support and how much nearer we could get to our goal of eradicating Podoconiosis.
Here's how it works: from now until November 6th, participating non-profits in America's Giving Challenge will compete for cash awards based on the number of donations made to their cause.
We're excited about this challenge, but we need your help. You can help by donating something - anything - even as little as $10. And just as important, you can help by telling your friends and spreading the word. We need your help EVERY DAY of this contest.
Let's all help Friends of TOMS win $50,000. We can do this!

TOMS Around Town
On Sunday, October 4th, American Eagle shopper, Vaille Hurt came into the store sporting TOMS Shoes. Vaille is an 8th grade student at Malcom Bridge Middle School in Bogart, Georgia, and when asked why she loves TOMS, she responded, "I love TOMS because they work for a great cause to help children that don't have it as great as we do."
Would you like to be featured in our next TOMS Around Town update? Just wear your TOMS and get spotted by a UGA TOMS Shoes Campus Rep, and you may be the next face of the TOMS Around Town update.

TOMS & Hanson: Use Your Sole Tour
I know you all remember the band Hanson, the three blonde boys whose first single, Mmmbob, topped the charts in 1997. Since then, Hanson has continued to grow both in their music and their mission. The band has been an avid supporter of TOMS from the beginning, not only by wearing their shoes, but also by participating in South Africa shoe drops and raising money for Friends of TOMS by hosting one-mile barefoot walks before the start of each show. These walks are also helping to spread awareness of the lack of amenities such as shoes, clean water, education and healthcare available around the world and fund efforts to provide these necessities.
So far, Hanson and their devoted following have walked 28,201 miles, enough to walk around the world, and are well into their second lap. The third leg of their tour will be the Use Your Sole Tour with HelloGoodbye, which is scheduled to kick off in Hanson's hometown of Tulsa, Okla. on September 30 and finish up in San Diego on November 8.
During the Use Your Sole tour, Hanson and fellow tour mates HelloGoodbye, Steel Train & Sherwood will continue taking part in the one-mile walks before each show to benefit Friends of TOMS.
The tour dates closest to Athens, Ga. and UGA are October 22 at Amos' Southend in Charlotte, N.C., October 26 at Workplay Soundstage in Birmingham, Al., and October 28 at the Tabernacle in Atlanta. Tickets are $25 or $18.75 each for a four pack.
